"It's ...... Sword ......"

Guo Chuan's eyes poked out from behind the big knife, and he saw a sharp light blade slamming against the blade, shaking the big knife with a clangling sound, and the trembling shock was transmitted to Guo Chuan's right arm, causing the blood in his meridians to can't help but surge violently.

"What a sharp sword...... What a strong strength......" Guo Chuan was secretly shocked in his heart, and then a pair of grim eyes suddenly constricted into a line, and looked at the front of the road along the light blade, which passed through the street and was a hundred meters long.

Along the blade of light, Guo Chuan's gaze finally fell on a young man standing in the middle of the road, the young man's body was like a bow, his right hand was holding a sword, and his standing figure was like a tall tree rising from the ground, showing his perseverance and unyielding momentum.

"Who is so bold as to dare to attack General Ben?" staring at the young man tightly, Guo Chuan asked sharply.

The breeze swept the messy hair in front of the young man's forehead, a pair of bright eyes were faintly visible, he slowly raised his head, his handsome little face was radiant, raised his eyes to look at Guo Chuan, the young man said: "Yo, I thought it was a bold thug from somewhere, who dared to take the initiative against our Jiang country's county, it turned out to be the general Wuwei of Wei State, General Guo." ”

Hearing that the other party actually called out his name, and the young man's voice and figure were very familiar, Guo Chuan was startled, and immediately squinted his eyes, and looked at it, it turned out to be ......

"It's you, the kid from Jiang Guo who led the way. Guo Chuan's eyes widened and he shouted.

"It's Jiang Guo's boy, General Guo, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't come unharmed. The young man withdrew the blade, only to see a flash of strong light, and the hundred-meter-long blade of light shrank back in an instant, turning into a three-foot blade of light. The young man put down his sword, then clasped his hands and saluted Guo Chuan.

"How could it be you?" After recognizing Jiang Guo's boy, the stunned look on Guo Chuan's face became much heavier, and immediately, the stunned turned into puzzlement.

Guo Chuan's gaze fell from the young man's face to the blade of the sword in his hand, the young man's sword was obviously a product of the mental image, that is to say, this young man was a national soldier, and judging from the blow he had just stabbed, he was by no means an ordinary person, and his strength was at least above the five forces of Yueyao.

A young man whose strength is above the five forces of the moon has been walking with him for two days, but he doesn't know it. After thinking of this, Guo Chuan felt that his cheeks were hot for a while, as if he had been slapped in the face very humiliatingly, and he was really embarrassed. Guo Chuan gradually became annoyed and angry, and immediately asked sharply: "I really lost my eyes, I didn't even see that you are a national soldier, Jiang Guo boy, who are you?"

The young man smiled indifferently and replied, "In Xia Jiang Country, Yang Ming." ”

Yang Ming!

Hearing this familiar voice, as well as the name that she had been missing for a long time, Xin'er's little heart suddenly beat violently, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, the girl slowly opened her small mouth, stared at his slender back, and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really Yang Ming?"

Hearing the voice, Yang Ming turned around, looked back at the girl affectionately, smiled gently at the corner of his mouth, looked at him warmly, and responded softly: "Well, it's me, Xin'er, I'm back." ”

"Yang Ming......" Tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes the moment the young man turned around, and Xin'er trotted and crashed into Yang Ming's chest.

Compared with two years ago, Yang Ming has grown taller, her chest is much stronger, Xin'er's delicate body fell into Yang Ming's arms, and her head was just attached to Yang Ming's chin, which is the most perfect ratio between men and women.

Yang Ming stroked Xin'er's black hair lovingly, listening to the sound of the girl sobbing in his arms, the young man felt guilty in his heart, and he apologized and said, "I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time." ”

Xin'er slowly left Yang Ming's chest, she shook her head lightly, then looked at the young man's bright eyes, smiled, and said, "Welcome back, Yang Ming." ”

Yang Mingxin'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, compared with two years ago, the girl is more slim, with a pair of watery eyes, lined with a little blushing pink face, beautiful and generous, and delicate and cute. In Xin'er, the charm of women is becoming more and more obvious.

Looking at Xin'er's little face, the young man's heart fell for it again.

A pair of teenagers and girls here are affectionate, but they are stunned by Guo Chuan on the other side.

At this time, Guo Chuan suddenly thought of Gongzi Wei Yingnan, "Didn't this Jiang Guo kid lead the way for Gongzi? Why is he the only one appearing now, so what about Gongzi?"

Thinking of this in his heart, Guo Chuan's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted at Yang Ming, and asked, "Hey, Jiang Guo boy, where is our son?"

Because of his eagerness, Guo Chuan directly blurted out the name of "Childe".

Yang Ming turned around, his face was calm, and he replied to Guo Chuan: "General Guo, you can rest assured that the prince of Wei is safe. I will return to Chaohua County one step ahead of my son, so as to report that our king is ready to greet him, and based on the distance of my son, I estimate that Childe should arrive in Chaohua County at noon tomorrow. ”

"General Guo, this prince of Wei is about to come to Chaohua County, I advise the general to prepare for it as soon as possible, and don't make trouble. You see, you have made such a mess of this street, and the prince of Wei will pass through this street tomorrow. If he sees the streets in chaos like this, how will we reply to Childe if he asks? ”

Hearing Yang Ming say this, Guo Chuan's face suddenly became nervous, nothing is more important than greeting Gongzi, and Gongzi has always attached importance to etiquette and etiquette, especially when he is on a foreign mission. If it is for the sake of a mere spy, forcibly search the city, and make Chaohua County boiling, and the chickens and dogs are restless, in case, tomorrow the son enters the city and sees the chaos in the city, and he is in a bad mood, it will not be good.

Weighing left and right in his heart, Guo Chuan had no choice but to stop, immediately put away the big knife, and then said: "Hmph, I won't pursue today's matter for the time being, and I'll talk about everything after the son enters the city." ”

After coldly leaving the words, Guo Chuan drove back and led Wei Bing back to the post house, just waiting for tomorrow to prepare to welcome his son Wei Yingnan.

Looking at Guo Chuan's departing back, Xin'er was curious, and immediately asked, "Yang Ming, what are you talking about the prince of Wei State?"

At this time, Chen Sheng also came over, compared with two years ago, Chen Sheng's figure was much taller, his shoulders were thicker, and his small face was more manly.

However, at this moment, Yang Ming couldn't care about catching up with Chen Sheng, the young man's face was heavy, and he said solemnly: "Listen, the reason why Wei sent three thousand heavy armor guards this time is because the prince of Wei came to our Jiang country. ”

"What! there is such a thing!" Hearing this, Xin'er and Chen Sheng's little faces were full of shock, and they suddenly realized.

After hearing the news, Xin'er hurriedly took Yang Ming's hand and said, "Quick, Yang Ming, I'll take you into the palace and tell my father about this." ”

Yang Ming immediately nodded, "That's what I mean, and besides, I still have important things to tell the king." ”

So, Xin'er took Yang Ming and quickly ran towards the palace, Chen Sheng didn't go with him, because he had another important thing to do, that is, to check Meng Bo's situation, he was shot by Guo Chuan, I don't know how injured he is, it doesn't matter.

Half an hour later, Yang Ming and Xin'er came to the palace and met King Jiang directly.

After seeing Yang Ming, King Jiang's face was mixed, happy that Yang Ming had returned to Jiang State, and worried about the news that Yang Ming had brought back, especially when he heard that the prince of Wei Guo wanted to inquire about Jiang Guo's army expansion, Jiang Wang suddenly became nervous.

Because Jiang Guo's expansion of the army is indeed a fact!

In the past two years, Jiang Guo has vigorously increased the number of recruits and expanded the army, and in the past two years, the number of troops has increased by more than 50,000. And these 50,000 recruits are in Dongwang City, and they are stepping up their training.

"Someone is coming, immediately summon Xiangguo Yan Hao, the general Liu Chen, come to the palace quickly. King Jiang frowned, and immediately summoned the minister to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"Yang Ming, this time you have made another great achievement. Fortunately, you found out about the matter of the prince of Wei Guo early and didn't let him go to Dongwang City. If Wei knew that we were secretly expanding our army, they would definitely make a big fuss about it. King Jiang said with a heavy face.

Seeing the worry on King Jiang's face, Xin'er was very puzzled and asked: "Father, my daughter doesn't understand, this army expansion is our Jiang State's own business, what does it have to do with his Wei State, why should I worry about being known by his Wei State?"

Listening to Xin'er's immature question, Jiang Wang shook his head and said, "Xin'er, what you think is too simple. ”

"Do you remember three years ago, when the Wei State sent troops to recruit the Song State because of the killing of the merchant traveler?" asked King Jiang.

Xin'er and Yang Ming both nodded, "Remember." At that time, the Song State was defeated, and the Wei State invaded almost half of the Song State's territory, and since then, the Song State has been directly reduced from a second-class country to a third-class small country. ”

"Well, that war, on the surface, was that the Wei State wanted to take revenge on the Song State because of the killing of the merchant travelers. In fact, it was not the case, the killing of the merchant was just an excuse, and the real reason why Wei sent troops to attack Song was because Song was expanding its army in a big way, intending to become a new great power. According to sources, at that time, the national strength of the Song State had already reached 150,000, and according to the speed of army expansion, in another two or three years, the army of the Song State would reach 200,000, becoming another large country in the eastern territory. Wei was worried that after the Song State became a great power, it would threaten its position, so it attacked first and sent troops to suppress the Song State. ”

"Not only Wei, but also the other two great powers, Zhao and Liang. For the three of them, it was enough to have three great powers in the eastern frontier, and they would not allow a fourth great power to appear. Once any country moves the signs of expanding its army, it will inevitably become a thorn in the side of their three major powers, and they will get rid of it as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Xin'er understood her father's worries, and the girl's little face was indignant, and she said: "The three major countries, they are too domineering." ”

Yang Ming smiled bitterly and sighed: "People who sit in high positions always like to oppress the people below, because they want to always occupy the high positions and trample the people below under their feet forever. So, if we want to go to the high position, we have to take a detour, hide from the point, and not be discovered by those guys in the high position. ”

Jiang Wang nodded approvingly and said, "Yang Ming is right, we have to hide, and we must not be discovered by the people of Wei State about our army expansion." ”

About an hour later, the carriage carrying Xiangguo Yan Hao and the general Liu Chen entered the palace.

After listening to Yang Ming's repeated statement, the two ministers were also shocked.

"Two Aiqing, you have also heard Yang Ming's words, the prince of Wei has entered the territory of Jiang State, and he will come to Chaohua County tomorrow, what can you do?" King Jiang asked bluntly.

Xiangguo Yan Hao pondered for a while, and then said: "The old minister thinks that we have two priorities. First, we should welcome the prince of Wei into the city, and receive him with the most solemn state ceremony, so that the prince of Wei could see our respect; second, we should immediately send an order to evacuate the 50,000 new troops in Dongwang City, and at the same time, block all news. ”

Jiang Wang nodded, and then asked: "Looking at the city in the east, there are more than 50,000 troops! Where are so many people going to withdraw?"

At this time, the general Liu Chen proposed: "Your Majesty, the east of Jiang Kingdom is a continuous mountain range, inaccessible to people, and it can be used as a place to hide soldiers. ”

"Well, that's good. King Jiang immediately adopted Liu Chen's opinion and ordered: "Okay, the matter of hiding the troops will be handed over to Liu Chen, remember, you must hide your whereabouts, and you must not be discovered by outsiders. ”

"As for welcoming the prince of Wei tomorrow, let Yan Xiangguo do it. ”

"The minister commanded. The two ministers immediately bowed to their heads.
